Double Pinwheel Quilt: An Easy Strip Method (Burns, Eleanor. Quilt in a Day Series.) [Paperback] Review

Double Pinwheel Quilt: An Easy Strip Method [Paperback]Eleanor Burns' "Quilt in a Day" series quilt books contain clear, easy to follow instructions with good pictures.With Eleanor's method you learn to create pinwheel blocks without ever cutting a single triangle!Yipeee!I had been quilting for 3 years at the time I bought this book and had 5 completed quilts under my belt.Initially, I was "put off" by this quilt pattern because I thought the one on the cover was too busy.However, I saw Eleanor Burns show how to make this quilt on the PBS series "Quilt in a Day" and came to appreciate it and the technique.I ended up buying the book and making a scrappy pinwheel quilt.Then, I made another one (this time with light green floral and med blue tone-on-tone pinwheels on a cream background).For this second quilt, I set the double pinwheel blocks with cream sashing and corner blocks in a coordinating color (Moda Marbles dk green).The finished quilt received rave reviews.As you can see, I approach this (and all) quilt book as a source of tips and tricks and ideas - a jumping off point.Definitely will keep this one in my library.
